The company I am with just moved from plaintext in-database password storage to using bcrypt with their latest product release, FWIW. It was either that or I left, heh.
Before tax. Rent is 3400 DKK, in a nice house share with two developers. Our lease is up in January (original owner wants it back), but it has been nice otherwise. 10 months here.
You can extrapolate the wage from this, but it's not high in the field at all.
Most of my friends live in Amager, Østerbro, etc. Anyone expecting to find affordable, modern accommodation easily in historic city centres is deluding themselves to a degree. Copenhagen has one of the more modern transportation systems in the world, so commuting is hardly an effort.
I moved to Copenhagen from the UK in February and had no problem. You just approached it terribly -- Copenhagen is not in America, and different places have different ways of doing things. You can't just expect foreign cultures to play by your rules. You have to do your research and find out how the locals do it. I got to see several nice apartments and they were decently priced, and am spending approx. 10% of my monthly wage on rent.
"Donating half of my paycheck to the taxman in order to live in a city overpriced by any measure is one thing."
Copenhagen has some of the highest wages in Europe. It also has fantastic levels of social welfare, income equality, universal education and healthcare, etc. Whining about high taxes also just comes across as so bloody stereotypical.
The black bloc tactics would seem to be far superior to the use of such `V' masks, due to the highly generic nature of black clothing, scarves, etc. Alas.
Management made the decision that my trivial change to eliminate replay attacks was "too much effort". I am inclined to agree, since even with such a change the effort required to circumvent their entire so-called security is minimal.
Next quarter they're introducing e-commerce solutions. Dear god.
The company I work for (who for obvious reasons I will refuse to mention) refuses to implement standard cryptographic practises in its product. Several months after starting there, and after a lot of loud complaining, I managed to get them to switch to using bcrypt instead of plaintext passwords in the backend database. Only in the next release are they switching to using TLS for logins, and even then sometimes defaulting to a clearly fucked Javascript implementation of cryptography to send the password (using public key crypto with global server key that only changes on server restart, with replay attacks galore).
The one thing I can say about the JS cryptography is that it normally protects somewhat against passive sniffing attacks, but when it's as broken as this, it doesn't even accomplish that task.
This sort of thing seems chronic in the industry, and it's dismaying.
This is going to be a nightmare.
